Alcohol is also bad. Unlike other recreational drugs, we have thousands of years of tradition in society in how to regulate its consumption and handle the negative effects. This includes social traditions, social pressures, and government rules. The rules go down to the specifics of the hours you can buy it, where, how you can carry it around, etc. Things like “alcoholic” are social tropes that are frowned upon and have been for centuries. Maintaining the status quo is very different from changing it. This applies to drug consumption.
